 The source, an excerpt titled "The Decline of American Trucking," examines how the profession transitioned from a stable, middle-class career to one of the most difficult and least appreciated jobs in the United States. It explains that in the post-WWII era, truck driving was highly desirable, often unionized, and protected by strong government regulation that ensured good wages and benefits. The critical turning point was the 1980 Motor Carrier Act, which introduced deregulation, leading to fierce competition, wage stagnation, and a dramatic decline in union power. Furthermore, the episode details how current challenges—including predatory corporate practices, misclassification of drivers as independent contractors, grueling schedules, and health risks—contribute to high turnover and a chronic labor shortage, despite the job's essential role in the nation's economy.
